Pleasing everyone is not an easy thing to do. When I first released the Fusion Model Pregnancy body I did so as a test to see what the market was like for such a body. Needless to say I got a surprise but I had two groups of customers. Those who wanted something a little slimmer, and those wanting something a lot heavier. I satisfied the slimmer customers because there were more requests for that, however the whole heavier group kept slowly but surely asking for a heavier body.

The result is the Ruben Pregnancy body. First off I want to say this is based on Ruben, but it is different. The Pregnancy bodies are unique in their design so it was not possible to create a like for like body, however it is pretty close.
As you can see above, Ruben much like her original body is quite ample in her proportions, although in a beautiful way.
The body comes with seven monthly stages and all the usual Fusion Ultima benefits.

For those that already have Fusion, I have also released a Pick n Mix version of the Torso.

With this update, VSX6 is now fully launched with the female and final male cock making their V6 appearance.

As with the other products, the primary products are mesh with materials enhancements and for the female products, rather than a bulge, you get an Omega ready Camel toe, again texturable with ADV or Omega Appliers.

One product that has come in for more significant reworking is the Herm and as you can see the somewhat older design has now been fully rehashed in extremely high detail mesh giving a far more realistic look.

To sum up, in December 2009, Violet Studios launched VSX.
It is now 2017 and those products are now in their 8th year on the grid and has gone through 8 major version releases, each time bringing new levels of detail and quality to the product.
A customer who bought VSX back in 2009 is still today getting the latest versions of VSX for free.

In 2009 I released VSX on to the grid with great acclaim.
VSX was under constant development until 2013 when I released VSX5, the final
version of the products.

At this point VSX was to be replaced by the newer VSXM
series of products, however I did keep VSX out there.

While I am always one for improving products, I must also
consider that these products should remain true to their original design and
format. With VSX5, I had produced what I considered at the time to be the
ultimate VSX product line. However they remained sculpted items, rather than
mesh.

As far as I was concerned, VSXM is a superior product,
and at the time I thought sales of the original VSX product line would decline
to such a point they would be no issue with removing them from my product line
up.

I did get something of a surprise when they didn't
decline in sales. In fact even now over three years later, VSX is still selling
on a regular basis, on the market place and in store.

I have, in the back of my mind had a series of possible
upgrades that could be done to the VSX Line as new technologies came about and
steadily a list of reworks was drawn up to improve the product.

At the end of last year I started putting these redesign
ideas in to development and now the first batch of products is ready.

In this initial release you have the original VSX Futa,
Evolver Human, Canine, Equine, Demon and Feline. At first glance, it all looks
pretty much the same but there is far more going on under the skin. I will run
you through exactly what I have been up to.

Mesh upgrade. I said I wouldn’t do this, but I have
relented. The new VSX6 cocks have been reworked in mesh. All the primary pieces of the cock have been
completely reworked and finessed to create something familiar but far superior
to the original sculpted cocks. In addition using multi-face designs, the
tattoo and cum layers are now all part of the same item, reducing the prim
costs and giving a hugely superior near skin tight fitment.

Materials Enhancements. Part of the reason for doing the
mesh move was so I could integrate on to the products Materials. No fancy huds
or multiple choice options though. Just a simple realistic style skin normals
map to give depth and a light reflective shine layer to give extra depth. That
all said the results are really quite nice.

Omega Ready Bulge. One thing I have been asked for a lot
is on the clothing bulge. Originally designed for generic textures, this
updated version comes mapped to the SL avatars crotch. What this really means
is rather than having to build custom textures or the likes to match a clothing
outfit, the bulge will now accept SL Textures. The Adult HUD now also has Omega
Advanced integration on it borrowed from my Fusion bodies line up. It will need
to be activated, but once it is, you will be able to enjoy using proper
matching textures. The Omega Installer costs 99L$ and if you already have it,
just wear it and it will activate the hud. Sadly I have had to remove the
options on the bulge though. You only get the one bulge now.

Overall I think customers will love the upgrades and the
new level of detail VSX6 offers.

I will however once again say though I think this is
going to be the last upgrade to VSX.

Over the last few years one of the bodies that seems to be very popular with customers was Ruben. This is deliberately a more well fed shape, however many asked if I could do an even larger version of Ruben. While tricky, Juno is that new body.
All the marketing has the info you need on the technical side, but in short, you get the Gravity Breasts, Ruben Upper body and the Juno Lower body in both Regular and Max sizes.
I added two in because of the limited options this body has.
